Artist
Alejandra Hernández
Born in Bogotà, 1989 and lives in Ghent, Belgium
Born in Bogotá, Colombia (1989), completed her bachelor in visual arts at Javeriana University, Bogotá in 2011, before moving to Belgium and starting a master in KASK School of Arts. She has exhibited in various art spaces in Bogotá and Brussels, Ghent among others. Painting and drawing have been her principal mediums influenced by the experiences of daily life, music, art history, comic, cinema and mythology. The result is often a combination of images and symbols that play between reality and fantasy, portrayed in moments where ambiguity is always present. In 2015 she began a program as a candidate laureate in HISK (Higher Institute for Fine Arts) in Ghent, Belgium.
